Flowers on our Sticky Wall

We had fun with our sticky table a while back, and since then I've been inspired by Mama Smiles' post to do a sticky wall.

Since it's a beautiful Spring here in Texas with lots of bluebonnets, evening primrose, and paintbrush everywhere we drive, I thought it would be fun to make a sticky wall garden.

We used muffin liners for the flowers, and the girls had fun painting and coloring them.  Unfortunately, the liners flatten out quite a bit when you do this, but they still looked mostly "floral" even after they were smushed.

I cut stems and leaves out of construction paper and the girls had fun "planting" the flowers on the contact paper that I had taped on the wall.

I think they look kind of like hollyhocks!

I really like the liners as flowers too.  It doesn't matter if my girls paint them BLACK- they still look "floral" :-)
